Ubuntu Linux refuses to connect to Teamviewer servers

Ubuntu Linux refuses to connect to Teamviewer servers

Hello, I am using Ubuntu Server 16.04 and I have reinstalled and started from sratch about 12 times in an attempt to get Teamviewer working. Each time it refuses to connect to the internet asking me to input proxy settings but no matter what I input it refuses to connect.

I am using LXDE as my desktop environment and it works under xrdp but not teamviewer.

I have tried this with both Teamviewer 11 and Teamviewer 12 and both give the same issue.

I just installed v12 on my UbuntuMate 16.04 system as I am going overseas I want to have access to my PC for banking purposes. The problem is I just get Not Ready. Please check your connection. and my connection is fine, as I can surf, view the internet, email, whatsapp, even post this message from the same PC. It also keeps popping up a dialog asking for proxy settings, when I am not using Proxy. It's PC, Switch, Router, ISP.

Is there any idea of when this problem will be resolved? I am leaving in less than 1 day.

p.s. and TeamViewer is so proud of TeamViewer 13 - but only for PAYING Customers in the Beta Stage, and the webpage is seriously a dog's breakfast trying to get you to cough up >$1,000 for a subscription.

OK, So here is a BETTER FIX Revisited that survives reboots! And I may have to apologize to Reyhan (TeamViewer Moderator) as it MAY be just an Ubuntu problem. (I say MAY because I still think TeamViewer must be able to find a solution if they REALLY CARED 1 1/2 years LATER!)

But here it is - and Easy-Peasy too.

1st Edit a file called, "/etc/systemd/resolved.conf"

sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf

Find

#DNSSEC=No or,

#DNSSEC=Allow-Downgrade,

Either way "Uncomment the line" (Take out the hash) and make it equal to off. ex) ..

DNSSEC=off

Save and Exit Nano (Ctl+X and Y for yes) Enter

Reboot or ...

sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

That’s it. But remember, now you’re running DNS queries without DNSSEC which could create security risks. If you don’t feel comfortable with this, then roll back the changes you made to the configuration file and simply follow the below steps to replace ‘systemd-resolved’ with ‘unbound’.

Re: Ubuntu Linux refuses to connect to Teamviewer servers

Having the same issue. Unfortunately, Mark's plan didn't work for me...

I don't shutdown my computer often, so I can tolerate this problem for a while. My "workaround" is to "sudo apt-get purge teamviewer" after every reboot, then reinstall my copy of Teamviewer12 -- it works flawlessly!

It only takes a minute, but it's aggravating… and if there was a power failure on the other end, I cannot connect to that Ubuntu computer either...
